Hi Maggie! Thanks for your comment! Actually this was from a couple years ago… (We should remove it!) The voting ended. Caleb is amazing, but didn’t win the grand prize. So great that you’re so thoughtful about this! Thanks for caring about the Blue Hills!
The Best….. He can work along with you until only he is standing. Have spent (in the past) many hours with Caleb, dedication among other words come to mind. The Friends are fortunate to have someone like him (there are others also, BUT we are talking about Caleb here). The best to you Caleb, ciao.
